If you want to speak to the remote
party who is sending a document to
you :
1. Press [V.REQUEST] during the
reception.
The V.REQUEST indicator lights to
confirm your request. But your request
will not go through until the unit
finishes receiving the last document.
2. When receiving is finished, the call
signal is sent to the remote party’s
unit. The remote party may pick up the
handset within 15 seconds if they wish
to speak.
If no one answers the request within
15 seconds, the signal ends. The unit
returns to the standby mode.
3. When the remote party responds, you
hear a warbling tone. Pick up
the handset and begin your
